Guess I'm eating a lot of chicken nuggets this month...woooo!

Nuggets are trash. Selects are good. Of course, they killed off Chicken Selects this past year. It's not like they ever had any game pieces on them any way (I think maybe the first year they were introduced, but never after that).

Breakfast McDonalds is once again the only edible McDonalds.

I don't really like any of their food but I like playing the game and nuggets are the only thing I like : ( I have a problem....

 

[Angry Grimace]

I imagine that the majority of the "rare" pieces are simply thrown out, which is the allure of the game for McDonald's.

I'm surprised they aren't putting pieces on the new premium QP's. Usually they tie in game pieces with their newest menu item.

That item this year is the Egg White Delight.
The deluxe quarter pounders are just a lower cost replacement for the Angus burgers they removed. No idea why they removed them, Jack in the Box still has the sirloin burger and Carl's Jr. still has the six dollar burger. I guess it's harder to "upsell" at McDonald's, especially when most of your advertising campaign is based on the $1 value menu items.

 

[krae_man]

This one doesn't include Canada?

 

[Kwixotik]

Kinda off-topic, but did you know that in France, McDonald's logo is green and not red? They did this to change the PR around the restaurant because people wanted to eat healthy. I thought it was cool when I learned that in a marketing course.

And then they threw health out the window and created this monstrosity

Looks like conjoined twins :/

The spicy mustard sauce looks good though

 

[Valjean Lafitte]

I love both maccas.


I don't love the horrid shits I get from eating said maccas however.

I'd get the shits too from eating all that..

 

[MisterHero]

It's almost guaranteed that the winning piece won't be on a box of McNuggets.

Oh well, here's $5 for semi-satisfying fast food. And $5 extra because that box will make me want more. And I'll win more McNuggets, fries, and shakes, so of course I'll have to eat those too.

 

[Javaman]

Every year I always hear some crap about how someone knew someone who accidentally threw away the winning piece. EVERY YEAR.

 

[FlyFaster]

played the shit out of this as a kid.

One year, years ago, a friend and I took a stack of Monopoly stickers from Toys R Us, must have been like 500 notebook sized pages of stickers shrink wrapped. Needless to say, we ate a lot of fries that summer. I think we were 9 or 10 years old at the time lol.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I'm going to get lunch at McD's today. I have this tradition of eating at McD's the first day of Monopoly.

 

[.GqueB.]

Why do people eat this poisonous shit?

It's really good.

 

[CrankyJay]

it's sort of set up so the only way you'll win is if you strike a deal with someone else and split the money

 

[Mudkips]

Nope. 1 piece in a set is rare. If you have it, buy 10 hash browns the next day to complete the set.

 

[mackattk]

If I play at all, it will be on the McWrap's.. its the only entree on the menu that is really any good.

This has always been one of my dreams.. Not really to eat the food, but it would be kind of fun going through all the game pieces.

 

[Windu]

I won a free fry once.

 

[InfiniteBento]

I would buy McDonalds and throw away the food.

I don't eat meat and think the foods gross but playing the game was fun. I'd usually give away any free food items I won.

Not going to play it this year but it was still fun when I did the years before.

It's a great form of marketing and reeling people in, I admit.

[otapnam]

went to mcD last night to get a happy meal so my wife could collect the despicable me toys.

got one of the new habanero quarter pounders. super sized to get the 4 pieces. The sauce was great but man that patty is complete shit. Gonna stick to chicken nuggets and breakfast

 

[DarthWoo]

I still have a big pile of those Big Mac and Large Fry vouchers that Living Social was selling at half price a couple years ago (which explicitly do not expire), guess I might as well finally use them.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

First playing piece this morning was Park Place. No WAY I'm not gonna win now!!

it's sort of set up so the only way you'll win is if you strike a deal with someone else and split the money

It's sort of not set up that way at all.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Is there even anything worth getting at mcdonalds right now? I don't want to bother if not.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Monopoly pieces.

 

[Altruistic_Lies]

If I can win a whopper, I'll play.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Every year I always hear some crap about how someone knew someone who accidentally threw away the winning piece. EVERY YEAR.

I threw away boardwalk last year. NO SHIT.

 

[Kwixotik]

hate the breakfast

nuggets with the hot mustard all day

We are kindred spirits. I order nuggets with hot mustard every time I go mcdonalds. The people think I'm crazy but they don't know what they're missing.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Monopoly pieces.

Yeah I'll pass.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Do they still have Hot Mustard?

 

[Sub_Level]

Fell for this shit last year and bought McDonalds multiple times a day every day for a couple weeks.

I won some free fries and some free cokes.

Never again.

 

[AlexMogil]

I don't look at Craigslist much but those are some of my favorite wanted ads to read ever.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

A few years ago, a friend of mine who worked at McDonalds found out you could read the sticker on the large fries without peeling it by bending the fry box. He went through hundreds of fry boxes and took all the good ones.

 

[Omegasquash]

Monopoly pieces.

But you have to pay for the food to do that. And your odds of winning the food back are pretty high, even if you throw it away.

It's like you're stuck with the stuff.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

Last year I tweeted out that I found the rare piece of the Boardwalk/Park Place combo and said it in a way that implied that I just had received another stupid common piece. I got a flood of people hammering me with offers to split the money to pair it up with their piece.

I regret nothing.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Ugh. Early this year. It's usually in October. I mostly avoid McD's all year and then go Monopoly crazy in the fall usually. And I never win anything, except an extra 15 pounds.

 

[Desi]

Rarely step in McDonalds but I will crush that Oatmeal.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I just wanted to pop back in here and let you guys know that I tried that Hot Mustard today at lunch and HOLY SHIT! It was so good. The rest of their sauces are crap but this.. this is GOD TIER

thanks GAF.

edit: won a free medium fry on my nugget box.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I just won a free breakfast sandwich (excluding McMuffin) so I guess I'll be having a McGriddles tomorrow for breakfast!

I wonder why they exclude the McMuffin. I thought McGriddles were roughly the same price if not more expensive than McMuffins anyway.

welcome to the Hot Mustard Club dude. Full membership is given once you also dip your fries in the Hot Mustard. I buy extra hot mustard with every meal, best 30 cents I could ever spend.

How is it set up? Only 1 Boardwalk available?

 

[perfectchaos007]

Spoiler

There are 2 boardwalk pieces available this year.

[BobTheFork]

Time for the time honored tradition of scanning the parking lot looking for winning stickers like the Mcdonald's was a fucking OBT.

People need to remember to recycle those stickers, they use those to make McNuggets.

My co-workers forget to peel their stamps, so sometimes when they step out of their office I'll rummage through their trash to peel the stamps. No shame
